Evaluation Question- 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

During the filming and editing the preliminary film, I just learnt how to use the 180 degree rule, however  we use the 180 degree more successfully in our film opening "Love Triangle" as it was not as obvious as our preliminary film was. During the editing process our film had many match cuts in which it made the film flow, we got better at making the match cut connect and come together making the film flow fluently. Also our storyboard became more detailed in or film opening with specific effect that we planned to use such as match cuts and foley sounds, compared to the preliminary film; we did not include any additional sound such as soundtrack pro.  In our film opening we got stronger using the camera as we got more familiar and adapted and gained more skills in how to use it effectively. We began filming at different angles and zoomed in and out in areas that were needed.  in our preliminary film we lacked filmin in a variety of angles and our camera skills were very limited as we did not have that much skills and experience using the camera. 

We used a variety of props in our film opening as we were able to plan a co ordinate the prop that we needed such as a computer and a phone. However we lacked using props in our preliminary film as we did not have enough time to plan the props we needed, also we didn't not have all the props needed as the scene was mean't to take place in a police interview station, but we had to film it in a classroom.

During the course of filming my group experienced some lighting difficulties as we was in a room that lacked good natural lighting. We had to over come this by filming from different angles trying to find the best light source possible. As we filmed over a number of days, we had to film at the right time of day; in order to get the right amount of sun light. We also had to plan our filming process by filming according to what the weather was like. For example, we started on a sunny day therefore we could not film on a foggy day. The preliminary film lacked natural lighting as the classroom was dark and due to the weather.
